Months before her reported split from husband Cash Warren, Jessica Alba said she and Warren had “become roommates.”
Alba, 43, opened up about her marriage in a candid conversation with podcaster Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt in April 2024.
“It’s all rosy for 2 ½ years, but then after that, you become roommates,” Alba revealed on Schwarzenegger’s “BDA Baby” podcast. “And it’s just, like, you’re roommates. You’re just going through the motion. It’s the responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes.”
TMZ reported on Wednesday, January 8, that Alba and Warren, 45, recently separated and are preparing to file for divorce. Us Weekly has reached out to their reps for comment.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have been vocal about their efforts to keep the spark in their relationship alive while raising three children. The couple met while working on 2004’s Fantastic Four, which Alba starred in as Susan Storm and Warren was a production assistant. After dating for nearly four years, the duo tied the […]
The pair met on the set of The Fantastic Four in 2004, where Alba was the leading lady and Warren a production assistant. They tied the knot four years later.
During their 2008 vows, Alba was nine months pregnant with their daughter Honor, now 16. The couple went on to welcome daughter Haven, 13, and son, Hayes, 6.
When Schwarzenegger Pratt, 35, asked how Alba was able to find balance amid her heavy responsibilities — and ensure “your husband feels tended to” — Alba made a face.
“If you’ve figured it out in your relationship, let me know,” she quipped, adding, “You know, I think that [Warren] probably gets the short end of the stick. … It’s hard. It’s impossible.”
Jessica Alba has shared a rare glimpse into her family life to celebrate the holidays. The actress, 43, took to social media on Thursday, December 26 to share a series of photos via Instagram of her husband, Cash Warren, 45, and their three kids, daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 6. “Happy […]
Alba said that she and Warren had previously tried to schedule regular date nights where “we won’t have our phone and we’ll just talk. But then that stopped because of whatever – and so we’re just not consistent.”
She advised Schwarzenegger Pratt’s listeners that it was important “to communicate when you’re unhappy and nipping it right away instead of letting it sort of, like, fester — and then you have animosity and then it explodes.”
Alba also noted that she and Warren had “gone through that,” since they’d been together so long, and joked that “he basically stole my 20s and my 30s.”
“We have, obviously, the friendship, the comfort of, like, ‘You’re not going anywhere,’” she added. “And so sometimes you don’t treat those people the best, right? You don’t consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people’s feelings. So that is something that I think is a constant — it’s a constant one to work on.”
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have long bragged about their three shared children, sharing adorable updates and sweet family insights. The couple’s eldest daughter, Honor, arrived one month after their May 2008 nuptials, followed by Haven in August 2011. Alba later gave birth to son Hayes in December 2017. The actress called her youngest “the […]
She said that married couples should avoid discussing topics such as kids’ schedules during alone time together.
“That date night, or that time, is when you really shouldn’t talk about the annoying stuff that you talk about during the week anyway. It is the time to sort of, like, get past that and check in in a different way. But it’s hard. It’s really hard.”
